The French Chef in America

The French Chef in America: Julia Child’s Second Act is a book about Julia Child by someone who knew her well: her great-nephew, Alex Prud’homme. Prud’homme reads his own audiobook – with a crisp, clear voice – and he delivers a thoughtful work about culinary history and Julia Child’s middle and later years. Those who know little about Julia Child may be interested in starting their research with this book, and those who have previously read books by or about Child will find out more about the celebrated chef throughout this account.
